Churchtown FC take the honours in Southport Six A Side League

As they have long promised, Churchtown FC secured the Southport 6 a side league title and did so with a game to spare after a thrilling round of games this week.

They saw off struggling Bayer Neverlosen – who find themselves relegated after the loss – by a 5-2 margin, while nearest rivals, Carpathian Grizzlies were edged out 2-1 by a Jack Parkinson inspired Bayern Bru.

It was nearly as pivotal a day in Division One and 5 And A Half Men won the top of the table clash with FC Regal 4-3, thanks largely to Elliott Horner.

The victory means they need only a point in their last game to guarantee the title.

Two Goals promotion hopes took a knock as they were surprisingly held 2-2 by strugglers Soupy Norman.

Division Two wasn’t to be outdone either and Baines On Toast moved into second spot in the most emphatic way possible, thumping AFC Dodgeball, who had occupied that position at the start of play, 7-1 and Stork Cooperheat secured the championship with a narrow 2-1 victory over The Port.
